Well where do I start!
Gave the car a proper detail on Saturday. Spent all day on it. Took it to my monthly car meet where it was on show with other fantastic cars. Tartan Tarmac if anyone is interested. And today took it on a 150 mile blast through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. The car really is infectious to drive and very hard not to drive it like I have just stolen it.
Fantastic weather, fantastic car, some hairy but fantastic driving.
When's the next bank holiday with 20 degree sunshine in Scotland?
Quality weekend.

Sorry no photos. Difficult to be driving and snapping at the same time.
I did see a few MX5s enroute but they were all in the rear view mirror.......as expected! And all driven by girls.

No wind up and you're

He's even been so kind to post details on how to remove them should Scott wish to do so
